READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST Write in soft pencil. Do not use staples, paper clips, highlighters, glue or correction fluid. Write your name, Centre number and candidate number on the Answer Sheet in the spaces provided unless this has been done for you. There are forty questions on this paper. Answer all questions. For each question there are four possible answers A, B, C and D. Choose the one you consider correct and record your choice in soft pencil on the separate Answer Sheet. Read the instructions on the Answer Sheet very carefully. Each correct answer will score one mark. A mark will not be deducted for a wrong answer. Any rough working should be done in this booklet. A copy of the Periodic Table is printed on page 16.

12 29 The diagram shows the investigation of blood flow in the veins of the lower arm.
Y Z W
A cloth is tightly wrapped round the arm at point Z and the veins stand out clearly. One finger presses on the vein at W. When another finger strokes the vein, as shown in the diagram, the vein lies flat between points W and Y. Some possible explanations are listed. 1 2 3 4 The bandage at Z prevents backflow of blood. The finger pressed at W prevents more blood entering the vein. A valve at Y prevents backflow. A valve at Z prevents more blood from entering the vein.
